One year ago a steering committee convened at Hillel’s Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life at Columbia University to begin planning this unique event. We set out not just to catalogue the many positive trends in civil discourse and civic engagement on campus, but to imagine what could be. With the generous support of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, this remarkable group of people – leaders of the academy and the Jewish community – developed a program that enables participants to refl ect on who we are and the ideas of others, to discuss and learn from others in an effort to share and integrate our truths, and to act to create greater opportunities for others. As we imagine a more civil society, we will focus deeply on discourse itself and also on activi- ties that foster safe dialogue and productive contributions to society. We will delve into the challenges of creating community, often raising questions without defi nitive solutions. We will demonstrate what we hope to lead on campus: respectful, authentic conversations in which we hold multiple truths simultaneously, listening carefully while articulating our own thoughts and opening ourselves to letting go and learning anew. We will bring back to campus fresh ideas on discourse and civic engagement. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hillel International Board of Governors Chairman Edgar M.

In a moving letter written May 17, 1993, the late Dr. Eliot Stellar had called Penn alumna Judith Rodin “the ideal candidate photo/ for the presidency of Penn, for she is a scholar with great natural leadership abilities....She is a virtual Pied Piper.” Farther along he added, “In my 51 years at Harvard, Brown, Hopkins and Penn Almanac I have never seen a better fit than between Dr. Rodin and Penn.” Reading from that letter as he placed her name in nomination for the presidency, Paul F. Miller, Jr., said that after interviewing the nominee, he had concluded that Eliot Stellar “understates her qualities. She is simply spectacular.” Four trustees seconded Mr. Miller’s nomination, and Penn’s new president—effective July 1—was elected unanimously by hand count of 37 trustees present and a poll of five who participated by conference call. After a standing ovation, Dr. Rodin delivered a short acceptance speech—with the ringing refrain, Penn will lead the way—which brought trustees and observers to their feet again for even more prolonged applause. Dr. Rodin then literally led the way through Blanche Levy Park and up Locust Walk to the Annenberg Center for a gala luncheon.
